Not directly. You could imagine the ways that they could accomplish it thought by having someone on the outside do it for them.

Read moreNo to both, and these are hard prohibitions rather than flexible guidelines. Inmates are not permitted to communicate directly with other inmates at other facilities, whether through email, letters, or any other channel. The concern is obvious: unchecked inmate-to-inmate communication across facilities creates serious risks around coordination of criminal activity, gang communication, intimidation of witnesses, and other security threats. The system is designed to prevent it. Money transfers between inmates are equally prohibited. Inmates cannot send funds to each
Read moreYes, inmates can send as many letters as they want through the regular postal system. There are no restrictions on how many outgoing letters an inmate can write, and the mail goes out through USPS just like any other letter. The cost falls entirely on the inmate's end, not yours. Postage stamps are available through the facility commissary and come out of the inmate's trust account when purchased. A standard first class stamp covers a regular letter anywhere in
Read moreThe reason he does not appear in any database is by design, and the law is explicit about it. Juvenile records and placements are confidential regardless of age. The critical factor is not how old someone is right now but how old they were when the offense occurred and when the case was adjudicated. If he was charged and processed through the juvenile system before turning 18, that case is sealed from public view even after he turns 19.
Read moreYes. Tattoo Magazine can be sent to inmates at Oregon State Correctional Institution. You can order it through Amazon and ship it directly to the facility, or you can send it through InmateAid as we work with the same publisher. A couple of things to keep in mind when ordering any magazine subscription for an inmate. The subscription must ship directly from the publisher or an approved retailer. Magazines sent from a personal address will be rejected at the
Read moreFederal law under 18 U.S.C. Section 924(c) imposes mandatory minimum sentences for using or possessing a firearm during a drug trafficking crime or crime of violence. The mandatory minimums are steep on their own: 5 years for possession, 7 years for brandishing, and 10 years for discharging the weapon. A second or subsequent conviction under 924(c) triggers a 25-year mandatory minimum on top of everything else. The stacking problem comes from how these sentences are applied. Under the law,
Read moreYes, the service works across every facility listed on InmateAid, but every situation requires examination based on the carrier rates. The platform covers jails and prisons nationwide, from county detention centers to state facilities to federal institutions. What changes from facility to facility is not whether the service works but how much it saves you. The savings are what we are seeking. Every jail and prison contracts with a single phone carrier, and that carrier sets rates based on
Read moreAll inmates receive "good time credits" when they begin their sentence. Usually, that is 15% and that is the most it can be, it can only lessen by bad behavior. The one way for early release is if the inmate has information about another crime or criminal enterprise that would lead to the prosecution and conviction of another. THAT is also called snitching (not recommended) and it could carry repercussions on the yard, but the weak-minded always look for a short cut.
